Employment Opportunity for Information Technology

"Computer scientists and database administrators are projected to be one of the fastest growing occupations over the next decade. The computer scientists and database administrators occupation is expected to grow 37 percent from 2006 to 2016, much faster than average for all occupations. Strong employment growth combined with a limited supply of qualified workers will result in excellent employment prospects for this occupation and a high demand for their skills."
